The story was difficult to follow, for me, and plays a significant role in the game and is likely to influence your decisions. What I wish I did and what I recommend you, is make sure you pay close attention to it in the beginning, knowing who’s who, who’s battling who and why. Consider taking notes haha

Edit: the story and the game are fantastic, I hope you enjoy it like I did. I recently finished the game and started with the extensions.

It’s impressive how this initiative has gathered 360k votes in no time yet completely stagnated ever since. I don’t think it means that the initiative is done, actually I am quite optimistic it can pass, but these things go in waves. I think every time there is a new coverage on the initiative it launches it higher, we just need some folks who have some local presence in the EU to get their audience to act. Perhaps some famous video game streamers? Has that been done already?

And the Netherlands are 6th! But the hardest part will be reaching that Million threshold… We still have a lot of time, but the pace has certainly slowed down the last few weeks compared to the skyrocketing in the early days. I think we will need to have more awareness spread around the campaign, perhaps try to reach mainstream media in some ways…

The age of DRM means that they can now “unlaunch” the game and force you into a reimbursement while giving up the game. Why? What if someone liked it and wanted to keep playing? is this an online only game? This is just sad.

edit: this is a good time to remind people, if you live in the EU, please support the “Stop Killing Games” initiative, it has just past a third of the required signatures, and has 10 months to go still:

Loved this game and the story. The second half of the game is where it really become interesting! I remember that mission in the screenshot :)

This is going very well it seems! I see the next few countries close to passing the threshold are:

• Denmark (88%)
• Netherlands (87%)
• Germany (75%)

Assuming we get those, we would need one more country. The highest remaining country is Ireland (55%). Getting all those still wouldn’t reach 1M signatures, but the rest could keep being distributed across the EU (even including countries which have already passed the threshold, I’m assuming).

This is all very exciting and gives me a lot of hope! Keep signing folks!

• The whole Pokémon franchise on gameboy/GBC/GBA/DS…
• Skullmonkeys on PS1
• The Crash bandicoot trilogy on PS1
• Abe’s Odysee on PS1

If you want to play them on an android phone, lemuroid is a great plug and play emulator. If you want to play on a PC, retroarch works well, but I recommend to follow guides on their website to get started.

I just replayed the 1 and 2 recently, love’em. Is reloaded bad?

Ownership of games is a pretty reasonable interpretation in this context. How can ownership of games exist in a context of digital access, activation, online requirements and no physical media?

For people who pirate because they can’t afford the increasingly more expensive games, how does the removal of adblocks change anything?

I think it’s a reasonable middle ground. Much better than outright removing the content and the warning…
